This conversation can go so many hilarious ways that will probably get a few people angry... Laughing

Photobucket blows. They should go back to their old system of copy and paste. I posted everything, but it pasted the same f#@*&@(#%ing URL/code for a few pictures. Goddamn retarded. Going to post a few instead.

HikeUp inspired this.

Lunch on Harwood

Chris made it!!!!!

Looking back on Baldy after running to West Baldy

Peace

Nike doesn't engineer their "ALL CONDITIONS GEAR" shoes to withstand such EXTREME conditions as friggin' scree skiing. Argh.

Nice pictures, dude! I hiked the Village Trail on Sunday. Still trying to decide whether it's worth compiling a report.

Oh, and congrats to Chris! Baldy rocks!

Any tips on finding and following the scree descent line you took down the bowl. Does it save time getting down to the hut versus the regular trail?

Damn, Hikeup. I got the pose all wrong. You look scared, I just look aroused.

Hikeup, the way I ski down the bowl is the northern/rightmost extreme of the Bowl. It turns into a sort of trail.

Going up the Bowl is the most direct. Overall shortest route (regarding land covered) may be the canyon between Harwood and Dawson, then up the northeast face of Baldy to the top. Starts in Stockton.
